When your ex becomes your client, the only thing more dangerous is the truth. It's 1978. With an economy on the brink and a city plagued by corruption, the glory days seem to be over for the failing P.I. agency Jake Horn inherited from his uncle. And he's at a point where he'll take any job he can get. Of course, there are exceptions... When his beautiful and enigmatic former fiancé walks into his South Boston office looking to prove her husband's been cheating, Jake's best option is to turn her away. He may be desperate for work. But he's no fool. When the husband's dead body turns up in a dumpster behind a local motel, the cops look to Jake's ex as the suspect. But then, she disappears... The detective on the case is determined to see someone pay for the crime. And he has a hard time believing Jake isn't somehow involved. With a target on his back and his freedom at stake, Jake has to rely on his own grit and investigative skills to find his ex and uncover the truth. It's a race against time, and Jake's life won't be the only one on the line if he can't find the real killer.

Autorenporträt
Gregory has written over twenty-three books, and is the author of four mystery and crime fiction series, including the Henry Walsh Private Investigator series, the US Marshal Charlie Harlow series, the Joe Sheldon crime series, and the new Jake Horn mysteries. His standalone crime novels include Drag the Man Down, Half Cocked, Danny Womack's .38, Biscayne Boogie, and a number of published short stories.He won his first award as a writer at ten years old, after sending a story to the Providence Journal about his pet husky being shot by a local farmer. The writing most likely wasn't very good, but the fact a young boy's dog was shot (true story!) tugged at the editor's heart strings just enough.His dog, luckily, survived.But that wasn't a paid gig, so years later he ended up in advertising. He eventually became a copywriter, specializing in direct mail and writing fundraising letters to help raise money for animals and children.The first book he wrote was nonfiction, but he quickly realized he wasn't smart enough to be giving anyone advice. He finally decided making up lies for a living would be much more fun.Somehow, he became an author.Raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Gregory lives with his wife, kids, and his dog, Jake, in North Carolina.
